Rehearsals are held at St Margarets URC Church, Finchley, N3 1BD
Rehearsals run from 7:30pm to 9:45pm on Monday evenings in term time
We rehearse for 2 hours each Monday but we make sure we have a 15-minute coffee break! For most rehearsals we play as a full orchestra, but once a term, we aim to split into sectional groups to concentrate on particular aspects of the programme.
The church is a great space to rehearse in, with excellent acoustics and heating! The URC church is easily accessible from the North Circular and there is plenty of street parking in addition to a small car park. St Margarets URC Church is only a 5 minute walk from Finchley Central tube station (Northern Line) and very close to numerous bus routes so we are excellently located for public transport. We can always help to arrange a lift to and from rehearsals if that helps.
We publish the rehearsal schedule as far ahead as possible, as this helps our players plan attendance and their practice (we promise we don't check how much personal practice everyone does!)
